How much is the most you would pay?

You're all making me feel better. The £200 dress wasn't mine but a friends and she thought I was a bit of a cheapskate because I wouldn't expect to spend so much. (It actually didn't look £200)

I love buying clothes but rarely anything expensive. I go off them anyway!

Like others, I’d spend a lot more on events and experiences than I would on “stuff”. We practically had to get a second mortgage to go to the London Olympics for a few days, but it was worth every penny. I’m a notorious skinflint when it comes to household goods and clothes. My DDs try to tell me that I should buy clothes I actually like, not those on the final reduction sales rack. I doubt I’ve ever paid more than £20 for a “normal” dress (though it would have had 75% knocked off the original price )

Blimey, £200 for a dress ? I'd want a couple of outfits for that !
I got a " barely worn " trouser suit for a wedding last year £8 !

I don't skimp on food though I have to admit and will pay as much for a fillet steak as a joint of meat would cost------but it is maybe a once a month treat.

Yes I set a limit. My sisters are life long Rod Stewart fans and have seen him in concert every time he has come to this city. He is coming here in the summer and they are going. He is coming back in December and the tickets are £175 each. They won't be going to that one. We have made an exception for Michael Bublé tickets this year (£90 each) but I have a special birthday and it's our Golden Wedding

I’ve just paid nearly £200 to go to the ABBA party at the O2.
I have palpitations just thinking about it but I’m expecting it to be fabulous.Thank goodness I’m still working part time.
On the other hand I’ve just been to a wedding wearing a Hobbs dress and jacket that I paid £23.50 for on eBay so I guess it’s swings and roundabouts.

Me too Poppyred.

‘Happy to pay £3 or £4 for a sandwich” - I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night! Lol

£2.50 for coffee or £1.80 for tea. Not many options open for me !

trisher your 'low' limits are far higher than I would be prepared to pay, which just goes to show how relative such things are.
My greatest expenditure is always on the accommodation costs for our holiday with our extended family. We go to Cornwall for one or two weeks and stay in self catering houses, but this year the costs have escalated to such a degree that I can't afford to rent a large house this year. I've compromised by renting a smaller house and there will be a guest rota for the house with the others camping nearby. My absolute top limit is £2400 for a two week stay for a minimum of six people in a house that has at least two bathrooms - and many of my friends and acquaintances think that is very little to pay in high season!

Yes.
Sandwiches.
I am happy to pay £3 or £4 pounds for a decent sandwich with quality ingredients but draw the line at a famous department store
who charges £7.50 for an open sandwich.
I think they are just not worth it.

Oh yes!
I'm a terrible skinflint.
Spending £200 on a dress wouldn't even enter my head.
I would perhaps, stretch to £200 for a show or gig, because the memories would ensure I had my moneys worth.
